Ever since we photographed Madi & Chris’ engagement at our shared alma mater, Indiana University Bloomington, we have been so excited for their wedding day!

We traveled to beautiful Michigan City, IN on this beautiful summer day and immediately fell in love with the beautiful Friendship Gardens. Madi looked absolutely stunning and they both radiated so much laughter and joy. The entire day felt like a great big warm hug as Madi & Chris finally tied the knot after almost a decade of being together! We’re so excited to tell the story of #MadiWadedLongEnough.

The flower petals from the flower girl came in handy for a beautiful confetti shoot! :)

The ceremony featured a lovely tree planting ceremony and bubble exit. So fun & sweet! Little Bryan had two hands to hold walking down the aisle and did an incredible job.

For the reception, Madi & Chris created a beautiful “rustic library” theme with their engagement photos inserted into classically bound books. We loved the creativity :)
